Bryce Walker is a fictional character from the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why," based on the novel by Jay Asher. He is portrayed by actor Justin Prentice. Bryce is a popular student at Liberty High School, known as a football and baseball team captain, but he is also revealed to be a serial rapist who sexually assaulted multiple characters in the series, including Hannah Baker and Jessica Davis. The character is complex, initially appearing as a privileged jock but later showing darker, disturbing actions that have significant consequences within the show's storyline. In later seasons, Bryce attempts a personal quest for redemption but ultimately meets a tragic end by drowning after falling off a bridge. The role of Bryce was challenging for Justin Prentice, who did extensive research to portray the character realistically and has received both acclaim and negative reactions for playing such a difficult antagonist.
